To learn more about the ROSE revision procedure, you can request a consultation online or call 954.565.7575 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Matei.

How It Works

The ROSE revision procedure reduces the size of your stomach and the opening to the small intestine to recreate the smaller shape you gained with your gastric bypass. As your stomach is again at its smaller size, you can consume less food and gradually lose weight.

Benefits of ROSE Revision

In Fort Lauderdale and Miami, ROSE revision gastric bypass surgery is minimally invasive and offers several benefits: it requires no incisions, involves very little post-operative pain, and will not leave a scar. In other words, you're getting the weight loss results of your original gastric bypass, without the invasive surgery.

The Procedure

While you are under anesthesia, Dr. Matei will ease a tube through your mouth and into the stomach pouch. The tube contains four channels. Through one channel, a video device will transmit images of the interior of the stomach; through the other channels, small surgical tools will be inserted. With these surgical instruments, Dr. Matei will create multiple folds in the tissue of the stomach and around the opening to the small intestine. He will keep these folds in place with tissue anchors.

You can expect to return to normal activities within a few days. You should plan on following a diet and exercise plan that will be very similar to the guidelines after your gastric bypass surgery.
